Excerpt from Ireland Its Humour and Pathos: A Study
Green, in the wizard arms
Of the foam-bearded Atlantic,
A melancholy isle,
Enchanted and dreaming lies:
And there, by Shannon's flowing,
In the moonlight, spectre-thin,
The spectre Erin sits.
She keenes, and the strings of her wild harp shiver
On the gusts of night:
O'er the four waters she keenes - over Moyle she keenes,
O'er the Sea of Milith, and the Strait of Strongbow,
And the Ocean of Columbus.
And the Fianna hear, and the ghost of her cloudy hovering heroes;
And the swan, Fianoula, wails o'er the waters of Inisfall,
Chanting her song of destiny,
The rune of the weaving Fates.
Wail no more, lonely one, mother of exiles wail no more,
Thy sorrows are the world's, thou art no more alone;
Thy wrongs, the world's.

Vendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an illuminating study of Irish humor and pathos and explores why Ireland and Holland, though similar in certain aspects, are strikingly dissimilar in many others. The author contrasts the humor and pathos in Irish society and culture, drawing from a rich literary heritage and historical context, from ancient myths, folklore, and language to modern social and political commentary. The book explores how this distinct sensibility was developed, shaped by a tumultuous history of oppression and resistance, religious conflict, and economic hardship. Through a compelling narrative, the author analyzes how humor, often self-deprecating, and a deep sense of melancholy are inextricably intertwined in the Irish character. This book provides a unique and insightful look at the complexities of Irish life, offering a profound understanding of a people and their enduring spirit.
